THROUGH THE MAZE.
StOckbrOkcrs Regain Their Held

StOckhrOkcrS Aega1 Their Hold
SAN Francisco, December 29.-
Judge Wallace to-day entered an order
releasing the stock firm of B. Frankel
& Co. from insolvency, both as firm
and as individuals. The firm con-
sisted OF L. B. Joseph, E. Solomon
and Jacob Frankel, and conducted
their business in Virginia City, New.
They failed in December, 1886, and
carried the firm OF Greenebaum &
Strauss, of this city, with them. Their
failure fell very heavily on the deal
ers in Virginia City and vicinity and
caused quite panic in this city, as
many small brokers were depending
on Greenebaum 4 Strauss. 1t was
said that Frankel Brothers left Virginia
City at night and no trace of them
could be found for some time. About
a week after the failure miner from
Virginia City named Quinn, who was
one of their victims for a large
amount, met Solomon on the over
land train bound for this city
and took shot at him. His aim was
not very good, and he missed his
man. He was disarmed before
he could fire another shot.
He was arrested upon his
arrival in this city, but was
not prosecuted as the offense had been
committed in Sacramento and the
complaint should have been sworn
out there. Frankell had departed for
Europe and there was no one else
particularly interested so the case was
allowed to go by default.

THE BROKEN FaEaI.
They Will Come Os,t All
Right.

SAN FRANCISCO, December o.
Frank Dalton, the assignee OF G.. w.
Meade & Co., said to-day that a state
ment Of the firms assets and liabili-
ties will be ready in a few days. He
thinks that the assets OF the firm,
outside OF their real estate, are ample
to meet all liabilities. Sales fell off q
little at this time of the year and left
them with large stock OF goods on
hand, with acceptances COM
ing due before the 4th of January
amounting to about $25, 600. Drafts
having been accepted, it was ques-
ton to pay or be protested and at
tached, and the firm concluded that
the prudent course wss to make an
assignment. The feeling on the part
OF creditors is very friendly and
satisfactory arrangement will un-
doubtedly be arrived at. 1t has been
stated here that the liabilities
amounted to $25O,0oo; assets,
500 900.

CLovERDALE, Gala, December g.
The wool-growers and wool dealers
OF Sonoma and Mendocino counties
held meeting to-day to discuss
President Cleveland's views regard
ing the admission of wool free of
duty. Z. M. Hiatt, a prominent
Democrat Of Mendocino county, pre-
sided and announced the object of the
meeting. Resolutions were unani-
mously adopted that, as the wool
growing industry of California in
creases her wealth by building up her
manufactures and furnishing employ
ment to thousands of laborers at good
wages, and the competition of foreign
cheap labor, the reduction Of the tar
iff in 1888 and other discouragements
have greatly decreased her wool pro-
duct, any reduction of the tariff
on wool would seriously cripple
this industry. and greatly de-
crease, if not fatally destroy
its production in this State; also
that reducing the tariff on wool and
retaining it on woolen fabrics would
unjustly discriminate between two
great industries, without affording
relief to the consumer of manufac-
tured woolen goods; that they un-
alterably oppose all legislation pro-
noting the eastern manufacturing
interests at the expense Of the whole
nation, discouraging by the same
means the development of the woolen
industry of the great west. Congress
was then appealed to, to maintain the
present tariff, and the views of the
National Woolgrowers Association
was heartily endorsed, and co-opera-
ton with them proposed.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, December 30
The river was frozen over here early

Ohio river at this point this morning
is frozen over, and navigation is en-
tirely suspended. This closes all
hopes OF a coal supply by river
sooner than February, unless there is
an extraordinary warm January.
Prices of coal are now double what
they were a year ago, and must 90

THE OPIUM TRAFFIC.
Chinese at Liberty to Import the
Drug.

San Francisco. December 90
United States District Judge Hoffman
has given decision as to the right Of
Chinese to import opium. On Decem-
Der 6, 1886, the Custom House author
tiles seized a quantity of opium
shipped from Panama to Wo Sang 4
Co. of this city. The lot, comprising
"a, $50 boxes in all and worth nearly
5000 900, was held in virtue ofa clause
in the treaty which foybids the Chi
nese from engaging in the opium
traffic. Judge Hoffman has sustained
the Chinese, holding that the treaty is
not self-executory and that Congress
having adopted no legislation, there
was nothing to prevent the Celestials
from engaging in the business.

'eport says the express bus

report says the express bus
mess may also be carried on
by private individuals, provided
necessary contracts can be obtained
with transportation lines. The usual
contract is one which pays the rail-
road Al per cent. OF the gross receipts.
Arguments OF the express companies
against their being treated as COM
mon carriers, subject to the Inter
state act, because they do other busi-
ness besides transportation, such as
collecting debts, are declared un-
sound. Various sections of the act
are considered with relation to ex-
press business, and declared as appli
cable to them as railroads; in fact,
the express companies claim they
already comply with the rules of the
act requiring annual reports from ex-
press companies.
The difficulty of framing schedules
for the information OF the public is not
greater than in the case OF railroad
express companies, which are simply
branches OF railroads operated
through similar staff or by an inde-
pendent bureau, or by combination
with other railroad companies found
to be covered by provisions OF the act.
In case of independently organize
express companies operating under
contracts for transportation, the Ian
guage of the act was found SO framed
as not to bring them directly within
its provisions. The words "wholly
railroad" in the first section do not
well define the business of the expres
companies, which use largely the SER
vices OF teams, messengers, stage
coaches and steamboats,. The pooling
section applies to pooling business Of
railroads.
Other sections speak of railroads
continually and of depots and sta
tions, the language not being applica-
BILE to the business Of express compa-
nies. The omission to name here is
significant. The preliminary investi-
CATION by the Interstate Commission
did not include express companies.
Upon all these considerations the
commission thought best to refer this
subject to Congress, it being matter
of doubtful jurisdiction.

selling the amount she had paid us
for. She roomed ia a suite OF rooms

ing house. We gave her work, max
ing mattress covers and sewing cur

THE HELLOW FLAG.
smallpox Sufferers Walking
About streets.

SAN Francisco, December 29.-The
procession OF smallpox sufferers along
the crowded sidewalks of Kearney
street continues without cessation.
This morning the turnkey at the city
prison expressed neither horror nor
surprise when man all broken out
with the disease presented himself at
the bars and remarked that he had
the smallpox. He was directed to the
health office at the new city hall
where he could obtain a permit to en-
ter the Twenty-sixth Street Hospital.
When last seen the stranger was
threading his way among the crowds
on Kearney street. This criminal
carelessness ON the part of the public
officials is due to q conflict of authority
between the police and the health
departments. Four cases of smallpox
were discovered this morning in the
Central House, the victims being men
aged respectively nineteen, twenty,
and thirty and forty years. Sixty
seven smallpox patients have been
sent to the Twenty-Sixth Street Hos
pital this month agTinst thirty-three
last month. The Board of Health
held a lengthy session to-day and
adopted resolution to the effect that
it was the sense Of the meeting that
smallpox was an epidemic in the city.
Six additional health inspectors and
six additional vaccinators were ap-
pointed, and better provisions were
made for conveying patients to the
hospital.
